this year to complete all the territorial
institutions. The Sioux reservation con-
tanning 22,000,O00 acres the governor

passage of the Dawes bill,
throwing 100000 acres open to
settlement, is earnestly urged.
The appointment of two additional judges
in the Third, Fifth and Sixth districts is
recommended. The overwork of the

The Duluth, Huron & Denver
railroad is now under construction
southwest from Sank Centre, and the
plans of the company are to COM
plete it for about 100 miles this fall.
The company has not yet decided
exactly, what course to take in their
line from Sank Centre to Duluth,
and Little Falls should look to it
that it's claims OF being on, the best
route for the road are placed before
the company in proper shape. A
route from Sank Centre through the
northern part Of Stearns county or
southern part of Todd county, thence
through Elm Dale and Swan River
towns in Morrison county, would
give the road a very good line between
Sank Centre and Little Falls, and
this part Of the road would be in the
direct route to Duluth. This country
between Sank Centre and Little
Falls is we'll settled and would
furnish q large traffic for a railroad
not emily in wood, ties, ETC., Chat
section is a fine timber DISTRICT but
also in agricultural products. From
Little Falls to Duluth an excellent
route can be obtained by running to
the south point o.. Mile Laos and
one Of the finest farming districts in
the state would be traversed, and at
Mile Laos and beyond is a dense
forest Of pine and hard woods, and is
Just the sort of territory that is need
ed by road that will extend for the
most Of its length across the great
prairies.s Also, Little Falls has such
growth atpresent and such prospects
for the future, railroads will do we'll
to seek it, as it will certainly have
business for more than now are here.
4 With the above facts on our side,
the people Of Little Falls should take
some steps to insure the building of
the Duluth, Huron & Denver railroad
to this place. IT inducements are
necessary, they should be forth
coming, Little Falls must have more
railroads. RI. .5
